Cleared to play Friday Walker (ankle) is good to go for Friday's game against the Nuggets, Sean Highkin of RoseGardenReport.com reports.
Impact This is a big boost for Portland, as Walker has been a key player on both ends for them in recent weeks. He's been trending down in fantasy basketball, however, as he's failed to score in double digits in 10 of his last 11 outings.

Ruled out for Friday Henderson has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Nuggets due a left adductor strain, Sean Highkin of RoseGardenReport.com reports.
Impact Henderson was healthy going into the All-Star break, so he must have tweaked his adductor at practice. Unfortunately, he will miss Friday's game, and for now, he should be considered questionable for Sunday's matchup with the Hornets. Ashton Hagans and Dalano Banton will have the opportunity for some extended run while Scoot is sidelined.

Questionable for Friday Walker is questionable for Friday's game against Denver due to a right ankle sprain.
Impact This is a new issue for Walker, as he was healthy entering the All-Star break. Walker had been playing a ton of minutes for Portland since the new year, but his role did decrease in his last two games with an average of 20.5 minutes per game. If he's unavailable to play, Portland could turn to Kris Murray to soak up some minutes.

Signs two-way contract Hagans signed a two-way contract with the Trail Blazers on Thursday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Impact Hagans has spent most of the year with the G League's Rip City Remix and was named a G League All-Star. However, he signed a 10-day contract with the Trail Blazers in early February and averaged 2.8 points and 1.8 assists in 14.8 minutes per game over four appearances with the club. Hagans will now remain with the organization on a deal that allows him to easily move between the G League and parent club.

Inks three-year deal The Trail Blazers are converting Reath's two-way contract to a three-year, standard NBA contract Friday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Impact Despite being a two-way player, Reath has spent most of 2023-24 with the Trail Blazers in the NBA. This is mostly due to injuries to Moses Brown (wrist) and Robert Williams (knee). Reath is averaging 8.9 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 17.4 minutes across his 40 appearances, including 11 starts.

Massive regression in loss Ayton fouled out of Thursday's 128-91 loss to the Timberwolves after recording two points (1-5 FG), four rebounds, three assists, one block and three steals over 20 minutes.
Impact Portland gave up on Ayton early as he failed to gain traction opposite Rudy Gobert. He finished with only 20 minutes of court time, which was his lowest minute total of the season. Duop Reath and Ibou Badji took over, but Ayton's job is safe despite Thursday's result.

Leads team with 20 points Grant amassed 20 points (6-14 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 6-6 FT), two rebounds and one block over 33 minutes during Thursday's 128-91 loss to Minnesota.
Impact Grant was the only Trail Blazer to score 20-plus points. Portland fell behind early with a 44-14 deficit, and the anemic results continued throughout the game. The Trail Blazers depend heabvly on grant's output, but even his recent 49-point night result against Detroit failed to register a notch in the win column.

Joins first unit with 15 points Henderson logged 15 points (5-12 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), one rebound, four assists and one steal across 31 minutes during Thursday's 128-91 loss to the Timberwolves.
Impact Henderson is Portland's point guard of the future, and although injuries derailed a promising rookie season, he's worked his way back into the top spot thanks to productive nights off the bench. Malcom Brogdon (elbow) should return after the All-Star break, which could send Henderson back to the bench.
